Reinitializes the SandBox space by using a SandBox space template

Description

Provides an application to reinitialize periodically the SandBox space by overwriting it with clean pages located in another space.

This application provides the following:

• A page to launch manually (and/or by scheduler) the SandBox reinitialisation, in SandboxTemplate.ReinitSandboxMacro
• A template space of Sandbox (i.e. list of clean Sandbox pages):
  • SandboxTemplate.WebHome (all languages are present)
  • SandboxTemplate.TestPage1
  • SandboxTemplate.TestPage2
  • SandboxTemplate.TestPage3
• Configured to forbid access to the SandboxTemplate space for XWikiAllGroup
• A Scheduler job to launch automatically the reinitialisation, in Scheduler.Reinit Sandbox

If you click on "Reinitialisation of Sandbox space (without confirmation)" in SandboxTemplate.ReinitSandboxMacro, the macro will

• erase ALL Sandbox space pages
• overwrite Sandbox by this space SandboxTemplate
• and unhide Sandbox space

Of course, it is recommended to backup your Sandbox space before and test with this link: "Mode Debug: 'Reinitialisation of Sandbox space' (without modification)"

Know bugs:

• missing English translation :-)
• copy from SanboxTemplate.WebHome copies only one language (because of copyDocument function limitation)

Prerequisites & Installation Instructions

By default the macro is not scheduled. You must schedule it and choose periodicity in ... scheduler.
